View MoreALESSIA I was screaming on the inside, willing Axel to just let me go. The car ride was tense and thick with silence, but I could still feel his gaze on me.It was unsettling. Not because it carried the usual frustration or barely contained anger he always directed at me but because it didn’t.His stare was different. It felt warm, almost comforting and I hated that it worked. That it soothed me in a way I hadn’t expected.His glances calmed my nerves but no amount of silent reassurance could erase what had happened earlier.I could not forget the laughter, the humiliation, and the cruel words that clung to me like a second skin. The memory was still fresh in my mind and it made my chest tighten.I swear I could still feel the cold floor beneath me and Sofia’s taunting words.I never wanted to go through that again.The car slowed before coming to a full stop in front of a massive black gate. My breath hitched as a guard moved to pull it open, revealing a mansion that looked like som
AlessiaSofia walked away and left me splat on the cold tiled floor. My palms stung from the impact, but I barely felt it over the humiliation sinking its claws into me. I couldn’t bring myself to look up, I already knew what I’d see. There would be hundreds of eyes laid on me, watching with amusement and cold judgment. It felt like I was frozen in place as my heart started beating erratically in my chest. I felt like I couldn’t breathe anymore, the air felt thick and suffocating. Whispers slithered through the crowd, each word cutting deeper than the last.“Poor girl.”“She must be dying of embarrassment.”“Why would she wear heels she clearly can’t walk in?”“If that were me, I’d rather disappear.”“Best entertainment of the night.”I clenched my fists, nails digging into my palms.I was dying of shame and embarrassment. How could I have been so stupid? I wished for the floor to open and swallow me whole. I should have seen this coming. I should have expected Sofia to pull somethi
Alessia I picked up a glass of cocktail from a waiter's tray and my eyes sparkled as the rich taste enveloped my senses. It left a refreshing feeling in its wake and I regretted not grabbing it from the beginning. It would have made all those boring talks more enjoyable for me.It didn’t matter at this point but this was the highlight of my night. I walked to a less crowded spot in the hall and leaned against the pillar as I took slow sips of my drink.My eyes flickered around the hall and I found myself enjoying the music as I gently swayed with my drink in hand. It felt liberating to be away from all those suffocating people and most especially Axel. “Are you celebrating because you think you’ve won?” My movements seized. I turned slowly, my gaze landing on Sofia, her face was twisted into a nasty scowl and I grimaced as she stalked forward. She glared at me like I had just ripped her favorite toy out of her hands, her eyes burning with pure venom.Seriously?I exhaled, pinchi
Alessia This was a drag.I knew I shouldn’t have come.Soft instrumental music played in the background, blending with the low murmur of conversation and the occasional clink of champagne glasses. Waiters in crisp black suits moved effortlessly between guests, offering trays of finely crafted cocktails, champagne, and sparkling wine. Everything was elegant and yet I found it completely unappealing.This wasn’t my kind of gathering, and my patience was wearing thin. Axel kept dragging me from one conversation to another, introducing me to clients, sealing deals over laughter and small talk that meant nothing. I stood there, nodding along, forcing a polite smile that barely masked my boredom.My eyes wandered over the crowd. With a single look one could tell they were people that held great power and influence, all dressed to impress. Sharp suits, glittering gowns and shimmering jewelry accompanied by empty laughter was flying around the hall as they repeated the same conversations abo
AxelWhat was happening? Why does this seem like a never-ending circle? It looked like the more I tried to bury my desires the more they grew and It was getting on my nerves. I was always in control, always the one calling the shots and making sure everything was in check. So why was it that the moment she stepped into the room, all of that slipped through my fingers like smoke?It scared me. She had a hold over me and I feared the outcome.I wasn’t used to feeling like a third wheel in my own body, my reactions were no longer mine to control and that was exactly what was happening at this exact moment. I couldn’t take my eyes off her. It felt like I was in a daze and my entire senses had been bewitched by her as her sweet scent filled the car, it stirred something deep within me. My pulse started to quicken and my thoughts were all over the place as I took in her elegant appearance. Her beautiful black gown looked like a second skin as it hugged her body perfectly and my eyes dar
Alessia “You are so mean! Why won’t you just let me enjoy my junk food in peace?” I whined, glaring at Isabel as she dropped a plate of salad and a glass of water in front of me like some kind of prison warden.She didn’t even flinch. Instead, she gave me that unimpressed, deadpan look that made me feel like an actual child.“What am I, a rabbit? Why are you treating me like this? I swear, I should sue you for feeding me nothing but grass.” I pouted dramatically, hoping she’d take pity on me, but she just shook her head in amusement and bit into her apple.“Stop whining like a baby and eat,” she said, completely unaffected by my suffering. “You need all the nutrients you can get, and as long as I’m around, I’ll make sure you eat healthy.”That last part made my heart do a little flip. She cared so much about my well-being. Annoyingly so, but still.I picked at the salad with my fork and narrowed my eyes at her. “And what about you? Don’t you need to eat healthy too? It’s not fair tha
Alessia “You look beat,” Isabel remarked, eyeing me with amusement as she relaxed on the couch. I rolled my eyes as I slipped off my shoes, placing them neatly on the rack. “Says the girl hiding dark circles under layers of concealer,” I shot back.She playfully glared at me, but before she could respond, I walked over and slumped against her, letting out an exaggerated sigh of exhaustion.She let out a dramatic groan. “You’re heavy! What have you been eating? Get off before you suffocate me and my precious Godchild.”I laughed but only made myself more comfortable. “Oh, please. You’re twice my size. I’m sure you can handle it.”She gasped, hand flying to her chest. “The audacity! We have the same body size!” We both started laughing and I felt all the stress leaving me as I cuddled up to her. She slowly started to run her hands through my hair and we both fell into a comfortable silence. Her touch felt comforting and I hummed as I enjoyed the sensation of her fingers slowly massa
Alessia I felt like I would blackout and fall flat on my face as I sat up on the bed. It felt like I had been run over by a truck as I struggled to keep my eyes open.I felt sharp pains as my head throbbed. It felt like someone was banging war drums and every movement I made sent a jolt of pain through my body.I tried to stand up and a pained moan left my lips as I gently rested my head back on the headboard. There was no way I would be able to do anything if I felt so sick. I cannot afford to be late, Axel would have my head if I did. I groaned in annoyance as I thought about all the workload he would throw at me once I got it the office. I cannot bear for him to make my life even more miserable than it was already. With the last bit of strength I had left I slowly stood on my feet and opened the bedside drawer. I popped my medications and Advil into my mouth as I quickly gulped water to push it down. “I'm a strong woman, I can overcome this.” I muttered under my breath as I dra
AxelI was livid. “What do you mean by she is not in the office?” I angrily yelled into the phone.“She has not shown up today sir, There is no record of her signing in or out.” Hailey replied and I angrily growled as I slammed the phone back in its place. What gave her the impression that she could neglect her work post? I have been in the office for over twenty minutes and there was still no sign of Alessia. Was she crazy? Did she suddenly think she was free to do whatever she wanted just because I helped her?If she was thinking about taking advantage of my kindness then she had another thing coming. “Good morning sir, may I come in?” I heard a deep voice and my eyes snapped to the door as I recalled that I was expecting Jordan to show up with the monthly reports. “Come in.” “Good morning sir, I have personally compiled everything into two different parts as you have instructed.” I gave him a nod of acknowledgement as I stretched my hand for the file. My eyes scanned the fi
Alessia“I’m sorry Miss Alessia but you’ve been diagnosed with leukaemia.” The nurse said in a solemn voice and I felt like all the breath had been knocked out of me. My ears started ringing and my heartbeat accelerated rapidly as I opened and closed my mouth, unable to form words.“It’s not possible! How? Why?” I finally rasped out in a weak voice. The nurse looked at me with pity as she handed me an envelope. I took a slow breath and stretched out my hands to collect the envelope.I could not explain how anxious I felt as I tore open the envelope. I brought out a copy of the test result and I wondered how this single piece of paper could make or break me in an instant. My eyes tested up as I read the words over and over again.I don’t believe this! It’s not possible.I shook my head in denial and my hands started shaking uncontrollably. I can’t accept this but the truth was glaring at me so how could I deny it?“I know it sounds bad, Miss Alessia but it is not incurable, though we h...
